Ok, so Soddy Donets really have much of a selection of accommodations, which isn’t a huge surprise. A quick on line search found this place, very cheap price with a decent rating ( and some “clean” comments). Ok, here’s the GOOD! Cheap, rooms were clean, appeared to be safe area with well lite parking lot BAD/TURNOFF - their “front desk” is an outside secured bank teller type window with a sign to ring a bell. Once the employee came to window, she stretched her neck to view that it was only me and my sibling. So the door was buzzed and we were asked to come inside. A large Iron roll down grated remained down and separated us from the employees. Even though I always felt safe, ALL the vibes the staff were produced told me differently. Even though we had secured our rooms on line with cc, they insisted to take a $100 cash or credit deposit …. For ant damage or missing items from the room. I reluctant paid it. When my reservation online (third party) was made, only Smoking Rooms with one bed were showing. Again, figured I could deal with it one night. Upon check in midweek and in the evening, the car lot and unlit windows made it super obvious they had many rooms available. When I inquired about changing to a Non Smoking room for the night, she gave me some lame excuses about on-line booking and their limited ability to change rooms. Spoke to Mgr about this again in morning. While he listened and remained professional, he gave me same BS about inability to change room. OVERALL. If you can put up with absolutely Zero customer service and stupid rules….. oh and can put up with several very loud trains nearly through the night….. the price is right.lp
